I don't have time for MP. How can one increase the challenge beyond impossible AI in a sensible way ie. still fun to play? Thank in advance.

There are 2 ways to do this that I know:
1. Create pretenders for the AI and start game with all factions human. One thing to watch in this is bless pretenders, because the AI does not use bless well. Better to use good scales and rainbow pretenders. Immobile AI pretenders might be the best choice, but that is subject to debate.
2. Edit a map file. This takes longer, but has definite advantages. You would place each AI in a province, and make AI pretenders and scales that are much more positive for the AI than the game allows. Make sure you than select "Cheat detection off". You can even give the AI fully outfitted SC pretenders. Also set all AI nations as allies so they will only attack you. If you do this and play on "impossible", you will have to be a top notch superior player to win. (I have found that I am not.)
3. Set indy strength to 3 or less. This will let the AI expand very quickly with the obvious benefits.
